cupcake day!

we mixed whole lotta butter and eggs

a week or so ago, janel and i drove down to vincennes to see one of our favorite lady's (and one of the best cooks we know) to make these cupcakes i had seen in an old issue of martha stewart.  martha was killin me with her all of her icing flowers....sweet peas, roses, chrysanthymums, pansies...they were so pretty!  so, i called elizabeth up after seeing this article and low and behold...weezie went to her shelf of backstocked martha mags and within minutes was staring at the same cupcake i was.  we made plans, she assembled the ingredients and off we went!  we literally spent ALL DAY making these and eating all kinds of delicious food weezie had made for our big cupcake day.  this was where i tried the goat cheese and tomato tart, as well as the green goddess dressing.  i can't forget to mention the corn chowder as well as the peach tart she also made.  it was a day of eating, more eating, sugar rushes and cupcake excitement!
